Left: Wolbachia pipiens
The Wolbachia pipiens is a bacteria that helps to shorten the life of mosquitoes carrying dengue fever and malaria. It has helped to drop the chance of being infected with these diseases. annually 50 million people are infected with dengue fever. The wolbachia shorten the insects life by up to 30 days! It is a tropical disease, so it needs to be wet and warm, the mosquitio is is found by rivers and marshes and rain forests. The Wolbachia is bacillia shape.
